Arseen:

Talked her down from $15 to $10 for the lot of it....sadly....no RPG games...so everything but the genie and cleaning kit are going to PNT next time I'm in that area

I might be willing to buy some of the games, if they are missing from my collection, Watcha got.
Mick Dundee:
Asterix and the Great Rescue - Manual is missing outer sheet leaving only the "guts" JUST NOTICED THE CASE, and ARTWORK have been damaged because wherever this was purchased cut/ripped it so that it could not be scanned and put their bar code sticker over the mark/cut/hole/whathaveyou
Animaniacs - Manual is slightly worn with some corner folding
Barkley: Shut up and Jam! - whole thing almost looks brand new
Batman Forever - Manual is a bit worn from age primarily
Cosmic Spacehead - Manual is worn and a bit dirty (what an interesting shaped cartridge though!)
Desert Demolition (loony Tunes) - this one is cardboard and an ex-rental...lots of unnecessary stickers
Desert Strike - all in decent shape
Eternal Champions - manual is in ok shape with folding on upper right corners.
Grind Stormer - All looks good. 1 of the 2 tabs that hold the manual is broken/missing
